Theres definitely mycelium in there. Unfortunately there a ton of mold myc too.

I hsd this happen on 2 jars where the filter wasnt sealed right. Maybe youre lucky and thats the cause. Its a simple fix.


Im sure your next run will go better!


Thanks for your input, I know the next run will go better 'cause I'm optimistic like that!

I'm using plastic lids with a SHIP and a whatman filter, but I think I took the silicone rings off the lids before use. Could that be the issue? Or should I re-silicone all the filters before the next go?

Also, is there any point in trying to get these to colonize some outdoor type substrate as I dump them? Or just let the squirrels and chipmunks spread the myc around naturally? :squirrelnut::trippinbawelz:


That kind of optimism will take everywhere you need to go in this hobby. I use the silicone  rings but i thunk most people dont. Im doing an experiment this run and running half with half wthout. Hopefully that will yield definitive answers

For filter disks I highly recommend just stickers available on amazon sfd .2 micron


Probably not much to save on your current run unfortunately.

Should I spray the inside walls of my sab with hot soapy water before doing any work or just run that puppy dry??

If the only gas exchange those jars got was through a syringe filter, that could explain the slow and wispy growth. Before tossing them you might try to see if very slightly loosening the lids has any effect. I don't see the mold other people are seeing, but if there is mold there it shouldn't take long to manifest itself with colorful spores.

Unmodified plastic lids are easy. Don't use the silicone ring, keep it just a tiny bit loosened from finger-tight, and remember to tighten before shaking.

To be fair, this is the answer my optimistic brain was seeking. My realistic brain wants the correct answer, but I can loosen the lids and keep these 3 around a little longer.

This feels like a dumb question. Is putting my sourdough starter in the same incubator as my mycelium a contamination risk?
Anyone else run the Oregon trail sourdough?

Probably not but why are you using an incubator? Unless your home stays below 65F you don't need any type of incubator for mushies.

+1 team dry.  Heat would just invite convection as well.

I normally get six quart sterilite shoe boxes from Walmart. A pack of 10 for $11.

I was online looking at more just now and I found an 18 pack that have clear Lids. which is very appealing to me. The lids are definitely a little bit different they do snap on it says. But I think if you don't snap them or just flip them over then that's not an issue either right?

And they're only $7. However they are not Sterilite brand. I'm sure this is a silly question but does it make a difference?

I'm obviously expecting the quality of the material to not be as decent but I don't think that matters so much as it's just a container.

Anyways it's so much cheaper and you get almost double the amount. So seems like a no-brainer. They're on the way I'm able to return them. Just looking for opinions please.

Here they are below

Seems like a no brainer to me as well, but I'm a noob.  Watching this for an answer!

Yup. That's what I'm gonna do.  guess we'll see. Seven bucks isn't too bad if they're no good. Maybe I'll be able to use them and find out before the return period  Is over. Anyways I'll let y'all know how they work out for me. Like I said the price is awesome but the clear Lids is what's actually appealing to me.


Yeah the bad quality thing seems pretty obvious for the price. But does bad quality mean that it won't work? That I'm not so sure of.

So for something so simple as just being a container for a substrate bad quality might not matter too much. Unless they like break super easily or something when handling them.otherwise I think I'm okay with bad quality for something like this.

When you make wheat spawn and then mix it up with coir in a tub, is it supposed to become like a solid block when it's fully colonized, or does it stay soft?

After it colonizes yeah, but that's the same with any spawn.

What does it mean if it stays soft and never becomes very white and solid? PF tek becomes those solid cakes but never wheat and coir.
